Xiao Duye went out.

The eldest prince's wife went out.

Even Qin Yanran took a carriage out of the house, but there was no sign of Xu Qing.

Just when Su Xiaoxiao was wondering whether Xu Qing was not in the eldest prince's mansion at all, Xu Qing drove out in a carriage.

When the curtain was blown up by the wind, Su Xiaoxiao keenly observed that the carriage was empty.

"Going to pick up Qin Yanran? But Qin Yanran has her own carriage..."

Su Xiaoxiao was muttering to herself when she saw Xu Qing's carriage heading west, while Qin Yanran was heading east. The directions were inconsistent and had nothing to do with Qin Yanran.

At most, he used it as a shield to pick up Qin Yanran.

Su Xiaoxiao followed quickly.

This was not the first time she had followed Xu Qing, but Xu Qing's level of dedication in working for Qin Jiang was different from that in working for King Nanyang.

She lost Xu Qing.

"No wonder Su Mo told me to be careful of this guy. He really has some skills."

Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and carried Wuhu out of the carriage. Ever since the young princess had a new favorite, Sihu Xiaoda, Wuhu became the disfavored tiger concubines.

The little golden snake named Ruyi, the main wife, hadn't said anything yet, so the Five Tigers naturally had no place to complain.

Finally there is a new task, Wuhu said that he is a high-spirited traitor again!

The Five Tigers went to find Xu Qing.

A bird is always faster than a person to find a person, provided that it is a trained bird.

Fortunately, the Grand Elder of the White Lotus Sect tamed the Five Tigers extremely well, but his moral bottom line was a little lacking... He sold them without hesitation.

The carriage stopped near a market, with people coming and going and traffic so busy that no one noticed this place for a while.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't just wait in the carriage. She went over what had happened recently in her mind.

Xu Qing must have gone to meet King Nanyang.

Prince Nanyang is a more powerful rival than Mo Guiyuan. Although he is younger, he is gifted, smarter, more adept at calculating people's hearts, and most likely more cold-blooded than Mo Guiyuan.

This time he returned to Beijing, he must have come for the imperial edict.

When the two princes were fighting for the throne, each of them held a secret edict from the previous emperor. The difference was that in the last step of the fight for the throne, the secret edict of Prince Nanyang was suddenly lost.

The cause of the loss is unknown, and the Wei family suspects that Prince Ruyang did it.

According to Wei Ting, the loss of the secret decree caused the Prince of Nanyang to lose his advantage and become unjustified, and in the end he could only watch the Prince of Ruyang ascend the throne.

The Wei family has always believed that the secret edict in Prince Ruyang's hand was a forgery - they stole the blank imperial edict, coerced the eunuchs who held the seal and the eunuchs who wrote the imperial edict, and tampered with the imperial edict.

But at the moment, it seems that the one belonging to King Nanyang is the right one.

What Su Xiaoxiao really cares about is whether the secret decree of King Nanyang is really lost?

What if it was not lost but hidden by him, waiting to destroy the last emperor's will and kill Emperor Jingxuan, and then he would ascend the throne with the secret decree -

Gui Bu is not dead, Wei Yan is not dead, they cannot hide in the dark forever. Besides, she now knows the contents of the will.

King Nanyang will not let them go.

"We must find the will and not let it fall into the hands of Prince Nanyang."

After sorting out the thoughts in their minds, the Five Tigers also came back.

However, the first thing it said was not "I found it", but "Big Tiger! Second Tiger! Little Tiger!"

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes turned cold. -In the courtyard.

Xu Qing was about to leave when suddenly his ears moved: "Who is it?"

A bird flapped its wings and flew away.

Xu Qing concentrated his mind and sensed the atmosphere around him carefully. After making sure that no strangers were following him, he said no more.

"Leaving now?" The Gu Master stood in the corridor, watching him walk down the stairs in a leisurely manner, "You are such a boring person. I was kind enough to say a few words to you, but you ignored me. Are you also so cold and indifferent to your Miss Qin? Or do you only care about her?"

Xu Qing suddenly turned around, his leg muscles bursting with vigorous power, he took a few steps forward, grabbed the Gu Master's neck, and slammed him coldly against the hard wall behind him.

The dust on the wall was shaken off and fell all over the two men's heads.

“Cough cough cough!”

The Gu Master choked, "I was just joking, why are you taking it so seriously? Okay, okay, I won't mention her again, can you let me go now?"

The Gu Master knew very well that Xu Qing would not kill him, but he could still make him suffer a little.

He didn't have much good Gu left, and didn't want to waste it on his own people.

Xu Qing coldly let go of his hand.

The Gu Master touched his neck which was pinched and hurt: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are still so bad-tempered! I was just joking with you because the master was not around. I won't say these things in front of the master. It's not easy for us either. Everyone has their own secrets, right?"

Xu Qing ignored him and turned to leave.

The Gu Master called him: "Hey, you have been with the Master longer than I have, do you know what happened just now?"

A few little troublemakers climbed onto their owner's legs and made trouble, and even hugged their owner's neck desperately.

The owner hates others getting close to him the most, but he didn't even throw those little troublemakers away.

He could only withdraw on his own.

After that, the three little guys turned into little tails, following their owner closely until they fell asleep in their owner's house.

"Master doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be so sentimental... Could it be that Master is planning to use those little guys to threaten the Wei family?"

"I don't know." Xu Qing said expressionlessly.

The Gu Master smiled faintly and said, "Don't you know the master best? How can you not guess what the master is thinking?"

Xu Qing asked back: "Why do you think I was punished today?"

The Gu Master choked.

Xu Qing warned: "You'd better not try to guess what the master is thinking. Just do your job honestly, or you will want to have a taste of what I will feel today."

Thinking of Xu Qing's torn appearance, the Gu Master's scalp went numb.

The Gu Master snorted coldly, "I don't care. Anyway, the master promised me that I can use them as Gu children. I will go catch one now to feed the Gu worms!"

Xu Qing couldn't stand his shady tactics, but he didn't stop him.

The two went their separate ways, one to catch the sleeping child, and the other to go home.

However, the moment the two passed each other, Xu Qing instinctively sensed a dangerous aura.

In the darkness of the night, the sound of breaking air came from far away and rushed towards the two of them like lightning!

Xu Qing slapped the Gu Master away with one palm, and suddenly drew his sword to cut off one of the arrows! The other arrow was deeply embedded in the wall, and the tail of the arrow was a shadow, which showed how powerful it was. If Xu Qing hadn't pushed the Gu Master away, he would have been shot through the head, and his brain would have splattered all over the floor.

The Gu Master shuddered with fear and quickly hid behind a pillar.

Xu Qing looked into the night and said warily, "Don't be sneaky, come out!"

Swoosh! Another arrow flew through the air, even faster than the last one! Xu Qing slashed with his sword again, steadily cutting off the arrow!

However, what he never expected was that this time the arrow actually contained a secret. The moment it broke, the powder inside spilled out.

He was shocked: "Oh no! It's a knockout drug!"
